DESCRIPTION:
Funnybut Repetitive This book was laugh-out-loud funny. The different alibis each author gave were hilarious. Some used poems to plead their innocence, while others used madlibs, illustrations, or wacky stories. The murder victim, Herman Q. Mildew, was a character that was outrageous and easy to imagine. I really enjoyed how even though each author's story was their own, Mildew's character was consistently presented.

The victim is boss/superior/editor Herman Q. Indeed, the pen is being used mightily to drum up support for creative writing; proceeds from sales will benefit Dave Eggers’ (another among the accused) 826 writing program in New York. The short bursts of writing create a sizable sampler for readers to choose from, gleaning from each entry the style and voice of everyone from Lemony Snicket and Libba Bray to Barry Lyga and Rita Williams-Garcia. With the alibis curated (in alphabetical order, naturally) by Scieszka, the finger-pointing and self-incrimination begin in every form imaginable: some are illustrated, others use text/Twitter/IM-speak, and David Levithan even offers his alibi in verse and questions the benef
The suspect list is long. Very long. But the question is Who done it?. They've all got alibis, collected in this very anthology. Think eighty-three-famous-YA-authors long, including Libba Bray, David Levithan, John Green, Lemony Snicket, Lauren Myracle--you get the picture. When the world's most horrible editor turns up dead, investigator Jon Scieszka has his work cut out for him
